Chapter 26 Stone Axe Chopping Trees

There are three mainstream ways to make stone axes.

One is to open a hole in the stone and insert the handle of the axe inside.

The other is to tie the stone axe directly to the wooden stick.

This approach is the easiest, but also the least durable.

Wang Wei chose the third method.

Grind the middle of the appropriate stone slightly so that the middle of the stone is slightly narrower than the sides.

Then split one end of the axe handle from the middle, clamp the slightly narrow part of the stone with wood, and finally wrap it tightly with a straw rope to prevent it from falling off.

Since there are accurate steps, the rest is nothing more than step-by-step watering time.

When six women who were learning to weave straw sandals learned to weave soles, Wang Wei finally polished two axes with grooves in the middle.

After checking the soles of the woven shoes, they first told them about their shortcomings. After the demonstration, Wang Wei started to teach them how to lay the uppers step by step.

As long as people learn something with their heart, they will always succeed.

It is not difficult to get started with weaving straw sandals. There is no reason why they can't learn what Wang Wei can learn when he was seven or eight years old.

Although it took a lot of effort, the few people finally knew how to attach the upper to the sole of the shoe.

Repeated mechanical movements slowly laid the upper, and Wang Wei continued to make stone axes while paying attention to everyone's progress.

Wang Wei tied the wooden stick more than one foot long with a straw rope from one third of the place.

Then use a relatively sharp stone to split the short side like chopping wood.

After smashing several stones, a crack was finally split on the wooden stick.

The crack ended one-third of the wooden stick and stopped. Because the bottom was tied with a rope, the crack would not be able to be removed without untiing the rope.

Squeeze the axe that has just been polished down the cracks in the middle where it is concave.

When the entire axe was stuffed into the stick, the cracked wood had a big crack.

I rubbed a few straw ropes and wrapped them around the axe in circles.

Every time you wrap around, the wood clamps the axe a little tighter.

After wrapping around for more than ten rounds, the axe was firmly as if it was growing in a wooden stick.

In this way, a simple stone axe was completed.

He held it in his hand and waved it twice. The heavy feel made Wang Wei very satisfied, but he had no experience in doing it for the first time, and the handle of the axe was a little short.

If used as a one-time throwing weapon, there is no problem, but if used to chop, it will be easier to grow longer.

After writing this down, Wang Wei continued to make the second stone axe.

After two years of growth, two stone axes, one long and one short, were formed in Wang Wei's hands.

Wang Wei slashed and slashed in the direction of the fire with one hand and one stone axe.

He felt that he was like a general who had two axes in ancient times, but he didn't know that in the eyes of others, he looked like a mentally retarded person, and his sense of shame was simply overwhelming.

"Shock Points from Tung Tree +5"

Wang Wei didn't expect that he could receive five shock points even if he made a second mistake.

When I looked back, I saw the tung tree holding a pile of swords and thatched grass looking at me with a look of "caring".

"Ahem, tung trees, there are not many firewood. If you don't prepare early, there will be nothing to burn tomorrow." Wang Wei coughed twice awkwardly.

The Tong Tree put down the sword thatch, grabbed it on its butt twice and said, "Then I'll go and call pine cones and the others, and go into the forest to pick up some wood."

After hearing his words, Wang Wei laughed and said, "Haha, it's not that troublesome. All the woods in the nearest place have been picked up. It's too dangerous to go far. Aren't the big trees in front of us all made of wood? Those big trees that were crushed by snow have been cut into small pieces and transported back for many days."

The Tong Tree looked at the broken trees and waved her hands quickly and said, "No, no, that tree is too thick and we can't separate."

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Hehe, since I said that, there must be a way. Come with me and I will show you a big baby!"

The Tong Tree followed Wang Wei to a Broken Pine tree with some confusion.

This pine tree is very thick, and it takes two people to hug each other at the roots.

The pine tree looks a bit similar to the metasequoia on the earth. The trunk is straight like an arrow shaft, covered with branches growing obliquely upwards.

Because these branches grow for a long time, they are amazingly thick.

Near the roots of the tree, some trees are as thick as adult thighs.

And the branches in the middle are also as thick as arms.

Such a thick branch is basically a delusion to break it with human power without drying it.

So even if these pine trees are overwhelmed by snow, the tung trees and the others do not have the ability to convert these branches into firewood.

"Wang Wei, you said show me a big baby, what is a big baby?" Tong Shu asked in confusion after not seeing the big baby Wang Wei said.

Wang Wei raised the two axes in his hand and said, "Look, this is the big treasure I made today!"

When Tongshu saw it, he said in disappointment: "Isn't this just stone and wood? What kind of big treasure is this?"

Faced with the doubts of the tung tree, Wang Wei pointed to the pine tree and asked with a smile: "If it were you, could you break these branches and take them back to burn the fire?"

The tung tree took a step forward, hugged the branch Wang Wei pointed and broke it hard.

But the pine tree that had just fallen down was very tough. Although the tung tree was very strong, it was not as capable as breaking a thick branch off the pine tree.

Seeing the tung tree returning in vain, Wang Wei smiled and said, "Look, you have so much strength than me, you can't break these branches, but if I use this big baby, I can easily cut off the pine branches in a short while."

Tongshu thought seriously and then said, "Wang Wei, do you want to knock down the pine branches with a stone? Although the stone can knock down the pine branches, it takes a long time. If it is a short time, it will definitely not be knocked down!"

Although I was a little surprised that the tung tree actually thought of a way to knock down the branches with stones, unfortunately, stones and stones are also different.

These two stone axes were cut. Although the thickness of this blade was a bit large, it was still more than enough to cut trees.

Wang Wei smiled and said, "If you don't believe it, just watch it. This kind of thing is called a stone axe, which is specially made to cut trees."

After saying that, Wang Wei used a stone axe to cut the ground at the root of the tree branch.

As soon as the axe went down, wood chips flew everywhere, and a small gap appeared in the pine trees.

Wang Wei did not use much strength because he was worried that the stone axe would not be able to withstand it and it would be broken.

Fortunately, the stones that I worked hard to find did not disappoint Wang Wei. Judging from the feel, they should be quite strong.

"Huh!?" Looking at the gap in the tree, the tung tree burst out lightly.

"Shock Points from Tung Tree +16"

After several axes, the gap on the pine trees gradually widened.

As Wang Wei looked down with axe and axe, a circle of gaps appeared on the pine branch.

It felt almost done. Wang Wei put down the stone axe, stood directly on the trunk of the pine tree, and broke it hard against the branch that had been cut halfway.

The bark lacks the toughness, and with the sound of a "crack" sound, the branch, which was thicker than the arm, was broken down by Wang Wei.
